Beautiful and so healthy. Looks a little different from the one I received from Gardino's. I like yours better :-)

Nice Brad ! I hope you get warm for good soon so your plants can grow outside ! I love the name tag Rachel.

Marco

A HUGE thank you to Rachel for sending me a rooted cutting and the awesome name tag! :)

Monica, your plant is pretty, too!

Marco, they are actually calling for snow by the end of the week. I hope we don't get a lot of it, if it does snow at all. I hope it does stay on the warm side. I am just anxiously awaiting the day all of my plants can go back outside.

aurorawa is the best! i love her engraved name tags, too. :)

Mine may look different from gardinos. Mine came from Jack from Epiphytica, and his is listed as EPC 928 (true pusilla).

Looks great, Brad. I bet it'll start growing very soon.

OMG, that "True pusilla" is on my top ten wanted list! Do you have a picture of the plant aurorawa? Is it fast growing? Can you tell me anything about it??

I have only had this particular hoya for around 5 months. I got it from Epiphytica, I think in October of last year. It came as one plant, and after trimming some dead growth off, I made 3 cuttings, one of which moonwolf now has. It was easy to root, but it is a bit on the slow side. I do have new growth now, and think that it will start growing a bit quicker, once it is outside for the warm weather.

The leaves are a little more varied than on the aff. pusilla, ranging from acuminate, to ovate, to more of a linear shape.

From what I can find online, hoya aff. pusilla and hoya pusilla (true one) both have similar flowers, but aff. pusilla has yellow coronas, with white, fuzzy corollas that pink up near the corona start; whereas pusilla has red coronas, with off-white (yellowish pink?), less fuzzy corollas.

Mine has yet to set peduncles.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, aurorawa! Very pretty shiny leaves! I had only seen the picture of the flowers on Epiphyrica site. I think they are so cute.

Aurorawa- that's a beauty!

I'll have to keep a close eye on this one so we can compare notes, aurora. Joni also sells pusilla, but I am not sure which of the two she sells. Both list having it as a delightful fragrance like lacunosa.
